I'm the "new girl" at school. I'm also tall, lanky, and completely shy. Terrifying combination if you're the newest member of the Greenview cheer squad, right? Actually, it's been great!

Sure, I have my issues with Ella, but the rest of the cheer girls like me for me. Plus, cheerleading has helped me come out of my shell. I never thought I'd never say this, but I'm excited to be cheering for the Greenview Blue and Red!

Favorite Cheer Stunt:
Few things are better than a double cupie. One guy holding two girls straight above his head. Unreal! Definitely worth a Google search if you've never seen it.

Cheerleading Goal:
To join Kacey as one of Ella's faithful sidekicks. Just kidding. I want to always be a solid base during our stunts. If the flyers can trust me, we will be that much better!

In my free time, I enjoy:
Hanging out with the cheer girls and spending time with my family. My mom and I are really close — she is the one who convinced me to try out for the squad.

Even though I am the most responsible girl on the squad, I'm definitely not boring! I just love being a part of it all—student council, glee club, cheer. Anything Greenview offers, I want to be a part of it!

Out of all my activities, cheering is at the top of the list. Cheerleading is challenging and requires me to push myself. Plus, it gives me a great reason to hang out with my best friends!

Faith and I became fast friends when she transferred to Greenview. She is so sweet. Gaby and I are almost complete opposites, but she helps me be more flexible and I help her test scores increase. And who wouldn't love Lissa, teaching us fun Español phrases! Adiós amigo!

Favorite Cheer Stunt:
I don't have a favorite stunt, every stunt gets me pumped up. My favorite thing is to have an upbeat, healthy, and happy squad!

Cheerleading Goal:
To be the best co-captain Greenview has ever had!

In my free time, I enjoy:
Reading and having the girls over for some bonding and FUN!

What's up, chiquitas? I'm the fundraising leader of the Greenview squad and the sporty one of the group (let's just say opposites attract when it comes to my friendship with Gaby). Though it's my job to brainstorm fundraising ideas and bring them into action, I couldn't do it without the support of the rest of the squad. Cheerleading can be expensive, but I can't imagine my life without it!

I love teaching the girls about my Hispanic culture. Listening to them use the Spanish expressions my mom and I teach them is awesome! Even the newest member, Faith, has been able to pick up a few phrases. I'm proud of my heritage and it means a lot that my BFFs are interested in it, too!

Favorite Cheer Stunt:
The full twist tumbling pass is my signature move. It's a back twist with a 360 degree turn. Though I love cheering, I also love gymnastics. The best is when I can combine the two!

Cheerleading Goal:
My mom takes care of my sister, Dulci, and I. Sometimes money is tight. My goal is to be such a rockin' fundraising leader so my mom never has to worry about supporting my love for cheering!

In my free time, I enjoy:
Playing and watching sports, walking my bulldog, Dixon, and hanging out with my BFFs.

I said a BOOM-CHICKA-BOOM! I said a boom-chicka-rocka-chicka-rocka-chicka-boom! Out of all the girls on the squad, I'm probably the…ah…craziest and loudest. But let's call it high energy.

Cheerleading and dancing have always been a part of my life. Not that I don't love my brothers, but having four of them made me find something to call my own. Cheerleading led me to three great friends who accept my super-girly, flirty, and totally diva-ish personality.

We are all different, but that's what makes us such great friends. Brooke can help me stay on top of my homework, and I can help her find that killer outfit for a Saturday night. Lissa can throw a football around with my brothers while I gaze at their totally cute friends. And I have faith that Faith (he, he) will always have my back.

Favorite Cheer Stunt:
I love hitting the scorpion. It just looks so cool when Brooke, Ella and I all get our legs fully stretched behind our heads at the same time. It's fierce!

Cheerleading Goal:
To help choreograph a killer routine and beat Pioneer Middle. (All Pioneer girls can all do standing back tucks…that's not easy!)

In my free time, I enjoy:
Free time? Between dancing, cheerleading, and keeping up on my homework I'm one busy Greenview girl. But, of course I can always find a few extra minutes searching for that perfect outfit at the mall.
